Good for her, I’m pretty sure she wasn’t intentionally trying to hurt anyone with the word but seeing the feedback against it, I think she made the right choice. 

I'm an ARTPOP bitch, baby

I’m surprised she left it in after Lizzo got backlash last month.

Read “Oliver Rodigan” as “Olivia Rodrigo” and I had to run to Wikipedia :ladyhaha:

Does that mean she's going to re-release CDs and Vinyl or just the streaming services ?

Beyoncé's team clearly do not read stuff online because Lizzo just released her album a couple of weeks ago and got backlash for the same thing. It's strange that no one informed her about this or maybe they thought it wasn't a big deal.

Exactly, sounds like a way to sell more versions of a CD. :ohwell:

Lizzo also got more backlash but that’s probably due to the song being a single whereas Beyoncé’s was released with the entire album so the focus wasn’t on a single song. 
I’m sure it would also be a bad look to change the lyrics before release for the digital version and then have people receive physical copies with the slur.

This songwriting credit is longer than my dissertation.

In my messy era.
